Eternal Sunshine Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I am considering going on a date with a 22 year old. He is introspective, smart and cute. He also keeps repeating that he is after a relationship despite the age and is not into anything casual. I am 33. Bad idea? 1
Kamille Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 My best friend was 30 when she met her then 20 year old boyfriend. They're now married with children. What's the harm in one date?
Kamille Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Gross ES. Let me make sure I get this straight darling... You find the idea... distasteful? May I ask why?
irin Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 with amount of threads about teenage girls with 30 something men, you have nothing to worry about, after all "age is just number isnt it" you should definitely go for it, at least hes legal age and can buy alcohol for himself. :) 1
dreamingoftigers Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 33/2+7=23.5 Bit too young. Sounds like a ridiculous formula, but I think it's pretty on the ball. 1
FitChick Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Is he still at school? Does he have a job? He'd be okay for a fling as a transitional man before you meet someone with whom you could be serious.
january2011 Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I couldn't do it but I say go for it if you like him and you can both meet each other's needs. 1
Pierre Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I am considering going on a date with a 22 year old. He is introspective, smart and cute. He also keeps repeating that he is after a relationship despite the age and is not into anything casual. I am 33. Bad idea? Imagine a 22 y/o man dating crazy 18-20 y/o girls that play games and are goofy. At that age is much better to score with an older woman that is not going to play games with him. In addition, by being much younger he has an upper hand---------he is the trophy. Otherwise, no harm no foul. Bt coincidence I lost my virginity at age 14 with a 33 year old woman that was the baby sitter of my younger siblings. I survived with no problems. So I hope you can teach this guy a couple of things. If by any chance you end up marrying someone 11 years younger just realized that when you are reaching the menopause at around age 50 (or sooner) he will still be in his 30s and we all now that plenty of women in their 20s date men in their late 30s. So as a diversion yes! As a LTR------NO.
mesmerized Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I wouldn't date someone under 25 if I were you. You will most probably regret dating him, but you can hit it, why not if he's cute? Lol 1
daphne Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I would agree with Pierre. If you're looking for a ltr, it's not a good idea. However, if he's hot why not? I dated a 22 year old not too long ago. He was extremely hot and he was a lot of fun to be with and I felt like he added something to my life. I'm grateful that I got to know him. If you think you'll get attached though, probably not a great idea. But you only live once.
Els Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 22 vs 33 isn't toooo bad. It isn't terribly common, but there still are couples with that large a gap or even larger. 22 is also old enough to put you out of 'cradle robber' territory, I believe. That being said, I think you may find a lot of discrepancies in your world views, mentalities, goals, and experience, with such an age gap. Still, if you like him, I don't think it hurts to give it a shot. Nothing to lose there.
Art_Critic Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Time for some rock hard fun ES.. and to think a guy in his early 20's can just keep going.. and going... 1
xxoo Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Go on a couple dates and see how much you enjoy each other's company. If you really hit it off, I wouldn't let the age difference stop me.
mesmerized Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Time for some rock hard fun ES.. and to think a guy in his early 20's can just keep going.. and going... Not for this reason, but guys that are a few years younger than me are my favorite. Compared to older men they're just more funny, sweet and all the good stuff...Not to mention the hot young bodies. I still probably wouldn't date a guy in his early twenties for a serious relationship though...but after a certain age when both people are relatively mature (let's say 25+) it's a fair game.
OhHey Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 All I have to say is Ashton and Demi..... Go for it, ES.....effin go for it. BTW it's not like we are saying 33 is old....it isn't, by a long shot. It is a gap, but not real bad, not like 22 year gap, but I say if you two click....then why the eff not?...
carhill Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 His private parts work, I presume, and he's a fully legal adult in Australia, so enjoy
mesmerized Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 His private parts work, I presume, and he's a fully legal adult in Australia, so enjoy yeah, private part is what matters in men anyway. The brain doesn't work regardless of age.
